Why I Was Not at Stephen Keshi’s Burial – Pinnick

“It’s really sad the way we just use extreme languages. Right from the moment he passed, I have been actively involved greatly,” Pinnick

Nigeria Football Federation President Amaju Pinnick has given reasons why he was not at the burial of former Super Eagles captain and coach Stephen Keshi in his home town, Illah, Delta State on Friday.

Following his absence from the final burial rites, Pinnick came under criticism for not being present especially being a former employer of the late Keshi.

Responding to the criticisms, Amaju claimed on his verified Twitter handle that he was not feeling well on the day of the burial, after having attended the lying-in-state in Benin the previous day.

He also stated that he has been actively involved in preparations towards the burial rites of Keshi.
